A/N my first fan fiction for 7th heaven I wrote this like 10 minutes after I saw the 9/26 episode Home Run but have always wanted Ruthie and Martin together. Okay I've always loved Martin and I've always related to Ruthie so that's kind of why I want them together but in the end this will be a Ruthie/Martin story thanks for reading if you do and as always Reviews are encouraged and if you really hate it can you tell me what's wrong with it thanks in advanced

Disclaimer: I don't own the character's their actions or anything along those lines I own about 27 pairs of earrings but that's about it.

'I can't believe he'd just dump me that way. Okay we were never dating nor had we really decided to start dating but still Ugh I hate him'. Ruthie thought angrily. Oh great now I'm going to have to talk to Dad and Lucy both who will be so smug when they figure out he won't date me.

"I don't want to talk to any of you excluding the possibility of Sam and David. Nor do I want your advice or Mom's advice or Matt's advice or crazy Mary's advice or Simons so just everyone leave me alone all I want is food a place to sleep, some clothes and a shower provided there's some hot water left."

"That'll teach them." Ruthie thought as she made her way up the stairs. As she landed on her bed she started to shed a couple of tears but wiped them away angrily when she felt them come down. "No I'm not going to cry because it's no big deal. He's obviously a jerk I just won't have a boyfriend for a little while. But just because I don't want a boyfriend right now doesn't mean if one comes around I won't date him just because he's a senior so there Dad." She thought with a bit of glee in her mind.

She went to sleep that night with very little energy and woke up feeling even worse. She got dressed in her hottest clothes, and thought to herself "well that'll show him what he's missing." She went downstairs to see her parents smiling gleefully, but they're smiles disappeared when they saw what Ruthie looked like. Annie was the first to speak. "Ruthie isn't that shirt just a bit…..tight." No, not really Ruthie thought I could be doing a lot worse. "Nope I don't think so mom it fits just fine actually alright I'm off to school."

She left to walk to the bus stop where she inevitably ran into Martin. "Hey Ruthie, do you need a-, whoa what's with the weird clothes." Martin looked at her hardly believing what he was seeing. "What I thought I looked good this morning and yes I would like a ride." Ruthie jumped in the car beside Martin. When he still didn't start the car for he was still staring at her. "Okay Martin what? Say it because I'm going to be late for school and I don't feel like dealing with that right now."

"Okay Ruthie, those clothes are a bit not like you. I mean who are you trying to impress by dressing so weird?" Ruthie looked down at her clothes and then said "Why do I have to want to impress somebody I wanted to look hot today and guess what I do. So in case you have a problem with that-though every girl in our school dresses this way- well you'll just have to deal with it so please can you just take me to school." Okay that was good Ruthie thought as Martin shrugged and went on their way.

When getting to school, Ruthie hopped out of the car and made her way up the stairs. She could feel Martin's stare on her as she said goodbye. But that wasn't the only stare she felt on her as she walked almost every guy she passes stared at her. "Hmm Martin and my parent's both thing these clothes weren't average. Average is everything I'm not today."

She got through school and went to the bus stop on the way there she heard Martin and Meredith talking. "It's cute them together sort of kind of cute." She thought to herself as she waited. But she actually started to listen to their conversation when she heard Martin use her name. "Yeah, well I can't wait till Saturday either did you see Ruthie today? She was so not herself, talking about wanting to be hot or whatever. What was that all about?" Meredith seemed to consider it "I thought she looked totally great, a really great look for her. She looked really pretty and she is in high school she should be able to dress how she wants. And you can't tell her any differently. Alright I got to go I'll see you tomorrow."

Ruthie saw Meredith walk away out of the corner of her eye and saw Martin walking towards her. "Hey Ruthie, I just talked to Meredith and well she made me think and I'm sorry for calling your clothes weird, really you look really pretty. So do you need a ride home or are you going to take the bus?" 'Hmm well that was unexpected but nice compliments from Martin always seem better then compliments from anyone else.' Ruthie thought. "Yeah a ride would be so great, I hate that bus." As she walked with Martin this guy who looked like a junior or senior came up to her and said "Hi, your Ruthie Camden right? When I nodded he said "I'm Nick Robinson and I just wanted to know if you ever wanted to hang out sometime." At this time she was already to say yes until Martin came up behind her and grabbed her arm and said "Sorry Nick, she can't hang out with you." With that taking her to his car.

She stared at Martin for a minute. Then began to start shouting with expressive force, "Martin what is your problem! He was hot and a senior right is that the problem you and my dad so against me hanging out with a senior? For the record you're a senior and I hang out with you all the time but no one seems to have a problem with that. It's not like I'm going to get pregnant (at pregnant he visibly grimaced) from hanging out with a guy so I expect you to stop trying to control me and I'm walking!"

She started to walk away with a pout in her step as Martin looked at her sadly from behind.
